I thought three hours on our first two mornings in Venice would be more than enough time, but Helene had so much to share, and was so able to tailor the tours to appeal to everyone from our 9 year old to my mother-in-law, that I soon realized six hours would barely scratch the surface! Helene is a total expert,... More

As a "mature" couple, Sabrina was able to adapt the tour of her beautiful to our interests and energy level. She has a very deep knowledge of Venetian history about which we were interested. She conveyed her knowledge in a relaxing manner appropriate to the subject matter. Her company provided a reasonable estimate for time, costs of attraction tickets and... More

We arranged a tour of the Canarregio district and the Ghetto with A Guide in Venice. Our guide, Fernando Viotto, met us in the lobby of our hotel at the scheduled time. Unfortunately, it was an unusually cold, wet day in Venice, so we couldn't do everything Fernando had planned. However, we made the best of it and Fernando managed... More

Venice is "THE" most beautiful city!! I went to Venice as part of my Italian Honeymoon and ohh what a start! Venice is breathtaking and there's so much beauty around that me and my husband couldn't stop clicking pictures in every nook and corner! We had a guided tour of St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace with our guide Elizabeth... More

My mother and I had the pleasure of being guided around Venice by Sabrina for four days and Helene for one. Both women were seriously amazing! Sabrina led us through most sections of the city - popping us in and out of churches we might have otherwise never seen, talking us through centuries of history, and seemed to have an... More

Fernando was a charming and extremely informed tour guide. He was punctual and went into great detail about architecture, history, art, and culture. We were out with him for three hours on a very cold day and we didn't even notice the chill. It is well worth the money and was so much more informative than any of the guidebooks... More

We just had an excellent tour of Venice with Fernando as our guide. If you' want to learn the fascinating history behind this floating city's architecture, politics, religion, and customs, then you will not be disappointed in Fernando's expertise. A wonderful way to spend the day. And at the end, you will feel like you've made a new friend. Highly... More

This was our first trip to Italy and Fernando made it complete. We had plans to see St. Marks Basilica and a back streets tour of Venice on the first day but the crowds were very large in the square. Fernando suggested that we put off the basilica until the next day and add that time onto the end of... More
